Breast Thermography

Breast thermography or digital infrared imaging is a kinder and gentler screening tool for breast health. There is no pressure, pain or radiation exposure. It is a highly sensitive screening method that can detect potential breast problems even 5 to 10 years before cancers develop. It may often detect abnormalities that are missed by mammograms, especially in young women with dense breast tissue. It may also detect aggressive malignancies, like inflammatory and triple negative breast cancer, often missed by mammograms.
